Re-imagining the fabled tale of a folklore favorite has been the latest creative challenge for Chris de Burgh. The compelling result breathes music and lyrical life into a centuries-old and much-loved classic. The Legend of Robin Hood finds Chris at his imaginative best, re-telling the story with cinematic vision coupled seamlessly to music of emotional depth and power. The concept for the album emerged from his involvement in Robin Hood, a stage musical about the infamous Sherwood Forest nobleman and his band of outlaws. Chris was invited to contribute storylines and melodies to the musical. “Since I was writing songs for this,” he explains, “I thought ‘Why not expand the story and put an album out, too'”. The Legend of Robin Hood is an album of evocative escapism and a tonic for our troubled times.
